What you save$20–$60 for the filter — no labor needed, ever

⚠️ BEFORE YOU START

None — this is the easiest job in the kitchen. Counterfeit filters are the only hazard: buy OEM or NSF-certified compatibles.

Tools

None (a towel for drips)

Parts

Filter matching your model’s filter number (printed on the old filter)

Step by step

1 Find the filter

Inside the fridge ceiling or between the crispers on french-doors, in the base grille on older models, or in the upper-right corner. The old filter’s label shows the replacement number.
2 Release the old filter

Quarter-twist counterclockwise and pull, or push-button release depending on style. A tablespoon of water escaping is normal.
3 Seat the new one

Remove the caps, push in, and quarter-twist until it locks/clicks. No tools, no force — if it fights, it’s misaligned.
4 Flush and reset

Run 2–4 gallons through the dispenser to purge air and carbon fines (sputtering is normal at first), then hold the filter-reset button until the indicator changes.
5 Repeat every 6 months

An overdue filter chokes flow and shrinks ice cubes — it’s the cheapest fix on the whole water system.

🔧 WHEN TO CALL A PRO

If flow is still weak with a brand-new filter, the inlet valve or a frozen door line is the real cause — see those guides, or have a pro test the water path end-to-end. If you'd rather skip it entirely, find a refrigerator repair pro near you →
